A review by robynryle
Far North by Marcel Theroux

This book reminded me of The Outlander, only the world is ending. It was compelling...I finished it in two days. Maybe a little too fuzzy around the edges for me regarding the details of this particular post-acopalypse. And maybe I'm just not this pessimistic. Can humanity never learn from our mistakes? Hunter/gatherer socieities are actually quite peaceful, egalitarian and anti-conflict. If we get knocked back to hunter/gatherers, why wouldn't we go that direction?
